As i have not been following a guidline i should have, i have to remove this package from TP.

When i started this topic i didnt think of it as redistubuting files from SMF, but more of the files as TPs. But as they are SMF files with modifications in them to work with TP, they are still owned by SMF, and in the license of SMF they do not allow redistrubution of any of their files, even with modifications to them.

And as we have agreed to follow the rules when we use SMF we have to follow the license for it to.

So from this point, the files from this post will be removed, and i hope that no one of our members will repost them in our community as it is TP that will be blamed to not follow the licensagreement.

We still have the guide for what files to change, and where to put in the code.
You find the modification of installing TP manually with copy and paste here
If you dont dare to try, we in the Team will be here to guide and help you get TP installed as we always have.

And one more thing.
We DONT want to have any discussion what so ever about this anywhere in the forum.
Rules are rules, License deals are license deal, and we all that uses SMF files, have agreed to them.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for trying out TinyPortal.
 

Now where I had a SMF forum running I have a blank page.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Follow step one and two again. Make SURE the files gets uploaded correct and that the files from the zip actually REPLACE the old ones.

And just to be sure, you DO have extracted both the manual package and the zip file before uploading the files INSIDE the packages ?

QuoteAnd just to be sure, you DO have extracted both the manual package and the zip file before uploading the files INSIDE the packages ?
Yes, both ZIP files were extracted to their own folders to my desktop. Then I FTP'd them to the site folders as per the directions.
I suppose that the files might not have been written correctly, I will go back and make the comparison file-by-file to see.
But that is why I performed the process a 2nd time to be sure i had all the files where they were supposed to be.

There are nothing wrong in those fils what so ever, i have used them on numerous installes my self now, and also a lot of others in here.

I think you might have a problem during the FTP of the files that they dont get uploaded correctly.
Make sure they DO get uploaded and that they have the correct permissions.

many thanx G6, we did it ye-day.

Troublesome I'll say ,at least we make it!

dtaliaferro

Tried it again with meticulous intense scrutiny of the file transfer process.
Even though the files may be completely functional, 
the manual install didn't work for me.
I only have a blank page where SMF once loaded.
Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps.
Fortunately for me, this install of SMF was a test project for me.
I'm trying to move from phpBB to SMF.
I will reinstall SMF if I have to and if TP V.098 comes out I might give it a try.
I like what I see, but I am not a code person so it has to be pretty simple to install.
Keep up the good work and I will check back later.

how do I undo this installation; because I've got the same error

G6Cad

Go back to the backup of the files you made before the install (always have backups)

If not, download the exact same version of SMF you had before the attempted install of TP and replace all the files with the new ones (keep settings.php and settings.bak.php ) replace all other files and refresh the forum

Niyazi

ok;
i found out that i had to download language files :)

now it's working

thank you for the reply
